TELL THE TRUTH.
from the st. Louis Republican. /

A Missouri democrat who is a prac.
ticing Christian and friend OF temper
ance, protests against the misuse of
language in the dispatches from Jack
son describing the result of the cleo
ton held in Cape Girardeau county
under the local option law as "a defeat
for temperance" The protest is time
ly. Temperance was not defeated in
Cape Girardeau county nor i'm Clay,
though both counties, exercising local
option, repudiated the principle and
practice of prohibition by round ma
iorities. In the latter county there
were no saloons, yet the advocates of
prohibition forced all election merely
TO secure an Endorsement of 1t. 1t is
not only unfair, but untrue and hvpo.
critical to describe reputation of
prohibition as "a defeat for temper
ance." The best temperance people
in the state oppose the pr hibition
principle. Saloon keepers oppose ii
| because their interests are involved
bnt this does not make the question
one between temperance and intem-
| perance A prohibition agitator has d
habit OF "going on sprees' and d
record that will not bear examination
but this fact does not necessarily
identify the cause of prohibition with
obtaining money under false pretenses
or with any o, Ills vices. Under the
law which gives each county the option
of accepting or rejecting prohibition
the question can be settled decently ant
in order as a neighborhood question
among neighbors. 1t should be settle,
as far as possible without bitterness
but at any rate without false witnes
of one neighbOr against another. Th
decalogue does not forbid the use o
intoxicants, but it does forbid SANDER
and it is an odious form of false wit
ness for one nelghbOr TO charge anotIl
er with being San enemy of temper
ance' because he votes against prohi
bitiOn. Whether prohibition wins o
loses. truth is best, and no victory wo
al The expense Of truth is worth th
